I am scanning some small pictures that I am going to e-mail someone else to make me 4x6 prints out of. They e-mailed me back and said I needed to set the JPEG compression to the highest quality setting possible. Could someone please tell me how to do that? I do not even know what that is? I am using a Epson Stylus CX3200 all in one, and have Windows XP Home Edition on my system. Thanks for anyone that will e-mail me back (EFCloggers@aol.com) and let me know how to do this. Thanks again!!!

This is from an Epson 1250 scanner and version 5 of the driver.

Open Epson Smart Panel.

Choose Scan to File.

After the Twain Window opens,
wait for the pre-scan.
Click on the Auto-Locate button.
Drag the outline box as needed to capture the entire image.
In the dpi setting, choose either 300 or the highest optical resolution of your scanner (3200?)
Click on Scan.

When you are finished scanning images click on the close button.

A window should pop up with an index of your scanned images.
You can change the image file names as desired.
Click on finish.

A box should pop up asking you to select the image format.

Select Jpeg.
A box below the file type should be enabled.
Drag the pointer over to the large file size end.
That will be the minimum compression.
